New Years Eve! 30 before 30!!

It is the last day of 2010.  I have high hopes for 2011.  I think that this is going to be a great year!!!  I am especially hopeful that 2011 brings a baby to the Pants house.  I am also very hopeful for all my friends that are ttc.  A special shout out to Sulf, 2011 is your year doll!

2011 will be my last year in my 20's.  I have made a list of things that I want to do before I turn 30.  I will blog about each thing I am able to cross off my list!  I am really excited to get started on my list! 

I hope everyone has a fun and SAFE new years!!!!

Introducing.....

Our newest family member!  Ms. Roxy Pants.  She was one of Mr. Pants Christmas gifts.  She is so sweet and cuddly.  She loves her big brother Raider.

I am 29 today.

So, today is my birthday and so far it has been pretty good.  I had early morning practice which meant I had a starbucks carmel mocha (yummmm).  And then, my co-worker brought kristy kreme for all of us! yay! 

I talked to my nurse today also.  I have an appt for January 3rd to do some bloodwork, and maybe an HSG, and talk about options.  I am nervous and still holding out hope that I will get to cancel that appt :)

Yesterday was a really sad day for me.  My temp did not jump up so even though I had signs that O was coming, it doesnt look like it did.  I was quiet and mopey all day.  I got home from work and had a package waiting for me.  I danced around like a little girl!  The beautiful and kind Sulf had sent me a gift!  I opened it up to find the cutest pink scarf (pink is my favorite color!!!)  and the most amazing homemade cookies ever!  I feel lucky to have such a great friend!  Thank you so much Sulf my love!!!

And my yummy homemade cookies:



My anniversary gift from Mr. Pants

I am pretty proud of him. He stuck by the "traditional" rules that I wanted us to go by.

First anniversary is paper.

This is what Mr. Pants gave me:

One year ago today....

Mr. Pants and I stood in a little church in front of our friends and families and said our vows.  This first year has flown by.  I adore Mr. Pants and I can't wait to see what our 2nd year of marriage brings us!  I am going to AW a few a my favorite pictures from that amazing day!!!

Be specific.

Growing up I only prayed/ wished for 2 things.  1. To go to the olympics for gymnastics  2. To be on General Hospital.

I wished for those 2 things for years and years and years.  I prayed for them.  Those were the ONLY 2 things I wanted for myself.

A few years ago I realized something.  Both of my wishes came true.  In 1996 my mom took me to the Olympics in Atlanta to watch the gymnastics (amazing by the way).  And in 2004 I was an extra several times on General Hospital because I worked for the guy that plays "Sonny".

I realize now looking back, that I was not specific enough with my wishes and prayers.  So, Be specific!

So, evil 13DPO strikes again.  After talking to the lovely Sulf, I decided that I O'd 2 days later than FF thought.  Which puts me at 13DPO today.  So, with that in mind, waking up to a temp of 96.8 didn't surprise me.  And starting my period didn't surprise me. 

Ok, on to the last cycle of this year.  cycle number 10, month 12. 


Thank you for all the blessings I do have.  My tree really does grow by the river.
